Hi all,

I am encountering a strange issue with the Matrix package. I have just built
R-devel from source on my macbook pro, and I wonder if others can reproduce
this problem. I will give example code to go along:

Starting a fresh R session:

R version 2.6.0 Under development (unstable) (2007-08-30 r42697)
Copyright (C) 2007 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
ISBN 3-900051-07-0

...

> log(2)
[1] 0.6931472
> library(Matrix)
Loading required package: lattice
> log(2)
Error in log(2) :
  could not find symbol "base" in environment of the generic function

There seems to be something wrong here and I cannot figure out what it is.
Am I doing something wrong or is it an issue with Matrix (which is what I
have narrowed it down to). I think that it might be a namespace collision or
something, but I am certainly not sure.

Here is my sessionInfo() output:
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.6.0 Under development (unstable) (2007-08-30 r42697)

other attached packages:

[1] grid_2.6.0

Thanks.

Tony
